Revive Your Creativity

If you follow Artisan Creative on Twitter or like us on Facebook (and if you don’t
yet, click on the links!), you probably noticed that this week’s theme is Creativity.

I spent some time getting inspired by finding quotations
about creativity and ended up thinking about the ways I get inspired--get my
creative juices flowing.

Whether it’s the 4:00 Wednesday afternoon slump or you just
feel stuck looking at that blank screen, there are lots of ways to inspire and
enhance your creativity:

Learn something new.Picking up a new skill makes you think
differently about the skillsets you already have and especially ways to make
them work together.

Get out and get moving.Changing your environment can definitely
inspire new ways of thinking about old problems, especially if you’re feeling
stuck.

Start by fixing something small that’s
broken.You may not know how you want
your entire design concept to look, but you can fix that header and maybe that
will tell you what you want to do with the next element.And the next.

Keep a notepad and pencil in every room.Don’t let those fleeting moments of
brilliance get away!

Me? I’m a fiber artist in my
free time and I love to surround myself with color, riotous, crazy, vibrant
color.Color makes me happy, wakes me up
and inspires me to make something new—create.
